-did you go to Stewartown school?
-OMG! I was in grade 7 and Mrs. Kalil was my home room teacher. I loved that dress she's wearing in the photo! I often see Miss Mackie at the Georgetown Farmers' Market and Choral Society concerts. I remember our first Home Ec class was open face sandwiches!!! Wow, great memories!

- Oh dear! That is sad news. But her legacy will live on with all of those who attended her classes.
-I remember them all.
- I think I liked Stewartown best of all the schools I attended.
-great times
-Thanks for the posting. My dear Joy...we'd been married only a year then. The pic prompted me to call Angie Debruyn this morning, and she gave me Mike Ogden's cell. I just spoke with Mike and Alice, on the road near Thunder Bay, heading home from a winter in BC.
-Alan Reed lots of familiar faces in this one
-My mom always enjoyed working with the Stewartown staff. My wife, Heather (nee Vance), remembers several of the staff from when she went there (‘66-‘68).

-Dave Lawrence is my cousin. See him the odd time. Looking a little older now.
-I remember him, best teacher there. Wood shop was my favorite class.
-Mr. Lawrence use to coach baseball in hornby also
-Many memories.
-SSPS was the best school I ever attended. Mrs. Hearn took no prisoners, but she truly turned around my academic attitude. Can’t thank her enough for her patience and guidance.
- God I feel old
-Cause I remember them all
-I remember a bunch too. Especially Mr Ridley
-You can't be that old if you still remember...LOL

-Yes i agree, Mr. Ogden was a very nice man indeed
-I remember this gang lol
-I was there during those years and remember them all! Great pic! Ruth (nee Linton).
-Nothing in life is ever perfect. Loved those teachers. They were great. We all like some more than others. Some worse than others. However they were our blast from our past.
-Had Mr Cosgrove for home room in grade 8. He was cool.
-Fall 75 to spring 77. I remember our class tipped over Mr. Pinkerton's bookcase & half crushed his oak desk. Went ballistic on us.
-I think the one guy in the front row may have played on the Norwegian Olympic Curling team.
-Thanks for posting 👍🏻
-I recognize most of them wish I could remember what they each taught
-We all had good teachers & ones not so.....remember family members also read these post
-Does anyone know if Bassett is still alive?
- Died around 2009.
- I won't speak ill of the dead any longer then...I would have liked to have given him a piece of my adult mind though.
-Mr. Pinkerton was my favourite teacher at Limehouse Public School. I had him for grade 3 .
-I had him for grade five at George Kennedy PS. I liked him a lot.
-I had him in Limehouse as well. We called him Mr Pinky
-Holy flash back!
-I remember watching the first Jays game in Mr. Gardner's math class. They wheeled in the tv on a really tall stand.
-haha it was so thick and heavy.
- heaven forbid it tipped over.
- There was so many. I see Mr. Lawrence. We had great teachers back then. Miss Mackie taught us so much. There were so many I liked!
-I saw Mr Lawrence a couple of years ago. He does maintenance at Milton heights campground. Called him Dave. It didn't seem to mind. LOL
-We watched the 1972 Canada Russia hockey in class either Gardiner and Zander.
-on that tv that was 7 ft high
-I remember it well.
-yes. I remember that. I wasn't a hockey fan but who didn't appreciate watching tv instead of math lol.
-I remember Mr. Bassett always used to refer to the U.S. as “The U. S. of A.”.
-And Mr. Cosgrove wore a corduroy jacket.
-I had him in the 80's, either at Centennial Middle School or GDHS, but I don't remember the subject. Science maybe?? I think I liked him. I had his wife for home ec for three years in high school. Really liked her. We listened to music in class all the time. She was really into Air Supply as I recall. Lol
-I think he was my English teacher.
-Definitely not English because I remember all of mine: Had one (the most boring man the world. - Mr. Lamborn) twice. and two women, both of whom I adored. Geography????
-Think Mr. Bassett taught both history and geography for me.
-You must either be talking about Stewarttown or about a different time than I because Mr. Basset didn't teach at either Centennial or GDHS when I was there. (Mr Cosgrove did, but I don't remember which. I'm thinking it was Centennial. (1980-'84)
Mr. Basset did, however, live on my street! About eight houses down. 🙂
-Stewarttown!
- Was probably in highschool with Mr Cosgrove then. I guess a simple check of the yearbook would give me the answer, but not on which subject. Definitely wasn't English. 🤔🤔🤔
-Mrs. DeBruyn was my homeroom teacher and English teacher. She now lives up the road from my family and breeds Newfoundland dogs.
-Thanks for sharing. I just had dinner with Mrs Hearns last week. She is like a second mom to me.
-She walked me Spanish across the school yard once at Park Public ('79-'81?) Woman has a temper. :)
-Actually, I recall her seething through her teeth as she had me lifted from the ground by the scruff of my neck, that she hoped to be around when someone really beat the hell out of me. (I'm paraphrasing her.). Kindly tell her from me, that many have tried over the years, but only a few ever bested me. :). I honestly don't recall what occurred on the day she 'walked me Spanish' into Mr. MacDonald's office. Lol.
-I remember her “crunchies “ in gym class. I’m sure I wasn’t a favourite to her cuz I never was very athletic!
-Mr. Bassett was actually one of my all time favourite teachers.
-I doubt you won't fin a boy that would say the same.😑
-I had him for Grade 8 History in 1969-70 and had no issues, he treated me well. Admittedly he was old school, he wasn't going to let anyone walk on him. It was a different era.
-i remember that bill it was painted on the outside of the building
-Great school, great times! Some crazy antics between the music room and the math room. Taking Zander’s VW Thing to get the pa from Neil’s for sock hops.
-Stewarttown school was awesome, the sock hops were the best, my first dance with a girl, Sandy Sedore. Mr. Ogden was so kewl playing his guitar and singing "The answer my friends is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind". Mrs. Smallwood had such a happy heart and Mr. Gardner was a great fella, Mr. Basset scared the hell out of me.
-I remember we had Bassett in home room and for history. Got along fine with him as long as you behaved. Don’t get into your desk from the wrong side the way Wade Bond did the 1st day of grade 8! Out to the hall he went for a “tune up”. Presidece was set right there ,Day one...
-I remember that he was someone who was very Strict and I wasn't about to test his limits. Good Times at Stewarttown! I loved the bus ride there too.
-Loved shopping for the long, blue prom dress!
-Not only were these all my teachers at Stewartown but Mr. Pinkertons wife was my kindergarten teacher at Glen Williams, Mr. Ciglen was my principal at Norval school & the wives of Cosgrove & Ogden were teachers at Centennial school.
-Remember them all, my grade 8 yr.
-That was a hard year for me, ohhhhh the teenage years, I loved all the years after much better then the teen ones. Gary Maltby could sure hit a room run with a baseball bat, I forgot that Tammy Fendley and Elaine Bastedo were in our class, We were ALL great kids!
-Mrs Smallwoods husband was a DJ at our dances
-Remember that now.
-I liked Mr. Basset, Mrs Kalil. I remember the split classroom with Mr. Zander/Mr. Gardiner and watching the Canada/Russia hockey on TV
-Mr Blue Jays what a great teacher.
-Blue Jay Scout, helped put together the first few teams
-I think 1969/70 and 1970/71 at Stewarttown were my favourite years of schooling. The teachers were all very engaging and quite cool. I mean look at some of their clothes, pretty dam fashionable for the time! My mum looks like she had a late night the night before this was taken, haha. Lou Zander and Joanne Mackie even came down to NZ to visit us in the 80s.
-your poor mum’s work life should have been a cakewalk after you and I left SSPS. 😉
-yes now that I think about it you’re probably right! Let’s not go into too many details on here though, haha!
-interesting hem length!
-a little bit short....lmao
-Now I blush!
